n=1044.53n=1044.53 molmol

Explanation:

Assuming that the 4.54.5 mm you talk about are actually 4.54.5 m^3m3 (so it's the cylinder's volume):

pV=nRTpV=nRT

Where:
pp is the pressure.
VV is the volum.
nn is the number of mols.
RR is the gas constant.
TT is the temperature.

2·4.5=n·8.206·10^(-5)·10524.5=n8.206105105

n=1044.53n=1044.53 molmol

Note: the gas constant changes with the units you use, if you use m^3m3, atmatm, KK and molmol; it is 8.206·10^(-5)8.206105. If not, you must check the value it takes.
